Memory

I opened my eyes
And opened my heart,
Then suddenly you were there.
Ancient memories flood my brain,
Deeply buried secrets peek their head out again
Blinking in the bright sunlight of Love.

Now we are like a world apart,
You closed your eyes,
Closed your heart
And left me standing out in the cold,
Shivering with betrayal and confusion
Feeling like the broken hearted 13 year old,
Which I assume was your ultimate revenge goal.

I wrap my arms around myself,
Trying desperately to keep hold
Of the shattered pieces of my heart
While they slip through my grasping fingers,
And bloody shards litter the floor.

Friendship gone, lovers gone,
And all that’s left are those ancient memories
I once cheerfully embraced,
But now score my soul like sharpened nails.
The minutes tick by but seem so long,
As I sit with my callously rejected Love,
Wondering when the healing will start.

I am done with everything to do with you,
This pain is tearing me apart,
And I think I will walk away
From the broken mass that was my heart.
I have no more use for it,
Since we are apart.
